Perrier is a naturally carbonated mineral water bottled at Vergèze in southern France, commercialised in 1903 by an English doctor who bought the spring and gave it the name of the French physician who owned it. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1992 after a contested takeover battle between rival French groups.
